lancaster, nice shooting, I am impressed by the shooting of the '88s I have shot. I have 6 now. All in 8.x57. Two ar rebarrel in the S chamber, two in the S chamber with deepened rifling from the original J bore. The two in photos on this post are J bore rifles. I have two in Millitary configuration in long rifles. They do not require the mannlicher style clip. There is a butternife handled jacketed barrel rifle in a sporting configuation. This is likely a turkish forest service rifle. There is one "sporter" carbine with a jacketed barrel. All shoot very well.
